UUklNG Ju6 WdEu9 1uukJg rainy !
weather of last week rot set in among
the grapes that caused some annoyance
to the growers. The brisk, west winds
and pure atmosphere that followed on
Sunday put a better aspect on all
things agricultural, but some of the
growers say their grape crop is ruined
for market.
REV. J. w. NORRIS pastor of Bethel
A. M. f. church read into full member
ship on Sunday q class of seventy-twO
prObatiOners out of ninety-seven taken
into the church as a result of the revi-
val last winter. There are Some eight
or ten yet to read in. Rev. J. &.
Brock, a former pastor, was present
and filled the pulpit during the day.
Mr.. COOLEY took an excursion two
weeks ago from Wilmington to Toll
chester, combining four Sunday-schOOls, |
and then did not have over 1000 be- |
cause the people of Wilmington have |
an opportunity every Thursday to go |
to this famous resort, but most prob |
ably because Mr.. Cooley will not issue |
over 1000 tickets. Don't be afraid to
20 tomorrow. The committee have a
guarantee that there will not be a
crowd.
PEOPLE who are compelled to walk
around considerably this hot weather
know the true advantage of shade
trees. When the hot and perspiring
wayfarer comes to a street or square
where shade trees are planted how
grateful he feels as he takes off his hat
to cool his head and mOps the sweat
from his face. To look along some of
our streets these hot days, where there
are no shade trees, the comparison
with a street shaded with trees is like
an arid sun blistered waste to a cool,
shaded oasis in q desert. Shade trees
mean much more than ornament and
no building should be erected without
its shade trees.
OUR peach basket manufacturers in
harmony with the general outlook in
the Spring for an immense peach crop,
started early and run their mills with
energy, and by the end of June had
seven or eight hundred thousand bas-
kets made up. The sales fell off in pro-
1 portion to the fall of peaches from the
3 trees, as was natural, and only about
! one third of the stock has been sold
| whereas, had the condition Ofthe peach
crop remained the same as in the
Spring, they would have been well
sold up. Our two mills alone could
make Dearly or quite all the baskets
! that will be needed for the crop of the
! Peninsula, say 100000.
A PRICE current issued in New York

ment of H. r. Mustard & Co., in an
of other cOlImn-peach baskets. Thei
So manufacture is known to our peac
~ growers as of superior material an
Ne well made, and consequently yer
IA popular. They had difficulty last yea
